Year 12 student Jonty Knocker was recently invited by EA Games, (the large American video game company), to their “gamechanger program” to get exclusive access to the game ‘Battlefront II’ before its release so that he could film some exclusive videos for his YouTube channel. Along with about 40 other YouTubers from around the world, EA paid for Jonty to attend the event held in Redwood Shores, San Francisco. He was able to talk with the developers and other content creators about the game. This was an amazing opportunity not only to travel but also to network within the industry. You can check out his YouTube channel to see the videos that he created from attending the event. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA1oEnRYKBmFDAcoKso2pAA

I would like to officially share the news that Craig Utting (Associate Principal) has resigned after sixteen years of service at KingsWay. Craig will be assuming the role of Associate Principal at Middleton Grange in Christchurch next year. I would like to thank Craig for his faithful and outstanding service to KingsWay and the wider cause of Christian education. He has poured his life into the school and many of our traditions have been influenced by the ‘Utting Touch of Excellence’.

There will be an official farewell for Craig at the Senior Prize-giving on the 12 December at 7pm. I would encourage members of the KingsWay alumni and community to attend so we can properly farewell and pay tribute to an outstanding KingsWay legend.

Please be praying for Craig, Oline and their family as they prepare to make the big move south.
